Happy Birthday HP!
All presents in the picture?
I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.

thank you drakkar
thanks gettoparde59, no only the book, the t-shirt I was wearing yesterday, I remembered that I read somewhere that Eli wears iron maiden t-shirt in the book so I figured out that since I am wearing right now why not use it it would look cool

(yeah I was looking for a little dark haired girl to dress her to my t-shirt and take a picture but no parent would allow it

)
EDIT: the similarity between the pattern of wrapping paper and the pattern of the table-cloth is purely coincidental

Czech version is beautiful!
Once Grandmother gave her a little hood made of red velvet. Because it suited her so well, and she wanted to wear it all the time, she came to be known as Little Red Riding Hood

hehe thanks Jeanne I like it too, but I have to be careful it can be easily damaged, those letters are almost invisible yet very reflexive against light and the rest has matte finish,
thanks A_C_L, I am sure it will be

I like the transparent letters. The book in my mother tongue sucks. It has Let Me In poster on it.
And it's bad translation. I could do better job translate that.

Where are you from?

This is how my book looks like. But the hard cover looks just like the original Swedish one. But this is pocket..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I wish I got a present just like that, only the Swedish one.

Was your birthday yesterday? If so, so was mine

That would be kind of cool don't you think?
